A number of matches in the Football League on Saturday have been postponed due to bad weather.

Sheffield Wednesday's FA Cup fifth-round tie with Charlton was called off after the Hillsborough pitch was deemed waterlogged by referee Mark Clattenburg, after a morning pitch inspection.

Also falling victim to the adverse conditions were Coventry's League One game with Bradford, at Northampton's Sixfields Stadium, also due to a waterlogged pitch. Crawley Town v Carlisle was a late victim to the weather, called off just two hours before kick-off.

The League Two games Bury v Bristol Rovers and Cheltenham v Wycombe were also called off after pitch inspections, while three Skrill Premier encounters – Alfreton Town v Aldershot, Braintree Town v Wrexham and Macclesfield v Forest Green – also fell victim to the elements.

Sheffield United's FA Cup tie with Nottingham Forest on Sunday was thought to be in doubt, after the Blades' league game against Brentford was postponed on Wednesday due to waterlogged pitch.

However, both United and Forest joined forces to pay for a 'full pitch covering solution' to ensure the game goes ahead.
